Always nice after the hard work to pass money on.

A £300 donation was also made to the Firefighters Charity - thanks everyone.

Wistanstow Challenge Walk thanks

You will find a small report at the bottom of the finishers list (see previous post) but we thought the thanks part should also appear on the front page - so here goes:

The organisers would like to thank:

Britpart Ltd., Craven Arms

Woods Brewery, Wistanstow

The Plough Inn, Wistanstow

Wenlock Water, Wolverton

Walls Butchers, Craven Arms

Spar Shop, Craven Arms

The Firefighters at Clun and Bishop’s Castle for their support and assistance, and the landowners along the route. And not least the volunteers who provide unstinting support; whether in the kitchen, out at the checkpoints, or in carrying out those jobs without which the event could not run – a huge thanks to you all.

The Finishers List has now been uploaded to the cupboard under the stairs and is available for viewing.

Wistanstow Walk Photographs

We were delighted that Alastair Tye of Fell Running Pictures attended our event. Our time is always spent doing a million and one other things on the actual day.

Pop over to Fell Running Pictures to view an excellent selection from the day.

Wistanstow Finishers List being processed

Wow - that was the fifth year of our little walk.

The usual massive thanks to all connected with the walk, whether entrants, helpers, or business supporters, you are what makes it all worthwhile.

Having dusted off the official 'Results Abacus', calculations are being made and just as soon we think they make sense, the Finishers List will appear.


[A brief apology for some of the technical gremlins that seem to have crept in of late - emails have also recently fallen into the gaping hole. A larger hammer is being sourced. Sorry folks, John.]
